It’s pretty obvious that I’m a fan of blogging. I’ve been writing this one for some 5 years now and really enjoy doing so. The other day I got to thinking about whether other bookkeepers blogged at all and thought that it would be great to get a list together of some of these blogs to share. I asked some fellow bookies on FaceBook and also did my own research via Mr Google. After searching some 30 pages on Google I found a few gold nuggets, 24 of them to be exact!

BAS Agent's Blog, Payroll & Superannuation / By / / , / 3 minutes of reading

Dealing with some employees can be hard enough but add to the mix tax and superannuation compliance tasks, and the job can become very tricky indeed! Most employers would be across PAYG withholding tax, payment summaries and super requirements but there is also one other tax that is perhaps lesser known – payroll tax. Not every employer needs to pay this tax but every employer should know what it is and when it should be paid.

What information must be on a payslip?

BAS Agent's Blog, Bookkeeping, Payroll & Superannuation / By / / , , , / 2 minutes of reading

If you’re an employer, you’re probably across how payslips work right? For instance, you already know that you must give employees payslips within 24 hours of paying them and that you can provide payslips in electronic or hard copy format. So that’s it right? That’s all you need to know – well, not exactly! Did you know that Fair Work has specific requirements in terms of what information should be reported on a payslip? Do you know if your payslips are compliant? Not sure? Here is a list of items that you must include on payslips (followed by some items that don’t have to be included, but should be!)

I find Twitter to be a great source of information for my business and a wonderful way to meet other bookkeepers (and other connections too!).

Here’s my list of awesome bookkeepers you should follow:
